Any nouns near Lexapro for nouns disorder?
Hello all! I have been suffering with nouns attacks that started 4 years ago. I have been able to deal next to them until lately. I've been having severe panic attacks several times a day along near horrible depersonalization throughout the day. I was on Effexor before but stopped because of the side effects. My doctor prescribed Lexapro.....anyone had great nouns with it?
Lexapro was not perfect for my panic attacks--I still had them, newly not as frequently.
My husband did not like my personality on Lexapro.
I used to run Paxil and it stopped working. I started to take lexapro and honestly it has helped me almost 100%. I love it. The only downfall is getting used to the medication and the reality it does not come in generic form and cost $30 a month. EEK!
too many success with lexapro(s-citalopram)... believe me ...too heaps... lexapro and other drugs in the same class..
i've been on lexapro for 6 years now and doing great on it. it really help me.
It works for others, but both Effexor and Lexapro INCREASED my anxiety. I ended up on 20mg of Prozac and taking Ativan 1mg 2x a day. It seems to work. I be glad the Lexapro didn't work because my co-pay was $80 a month! OUCH! Prozac has a generic!
I had much more benefit from Zoloft. I really didn't have much benefit from Lexapro or any other medication other than Zoloft.

Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling bad. I don't know about Lexapro, but the following steps get rid of my panic attacks permanantly (something which meds were unable to do for me):
1.Breathe properly - if you control your breathing, you control panic. As soon as you identify the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will consistency a lot better.
2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks, OCD and anxiety etc. It take a bit of work, but it is super effective. (After 15 years of panic attacks, mine stopped completely). You can speak to your doctor about taking a course or you can take a course for free online at: www.livinglifetothefull.com
3. Try relaxation exercise tape (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough. You can get free downloads contained by you put "progressive muscle relaxation" into Google (e.g. lots of universities have them as free downloads)
With each step practise makes fail-safe. (i.e. practise the steps every day, not just when you are feeling bad). I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!
